Problem:
Calculate the distance from the center of the Earth to a point below the surface where the acceleration due to gravity is 0.50g, where g is the acceleration due to gravity at the Earth's surface.
I thougtt I could use g = GMe / R^2 solving for R. But this did not work.
This problem seems really simple I just can't seem to figure it out.
